formal introduction here in justa second. But you can contribute
to this next section we like tocall current events. This kind

(03:21):
of gets us going icebreaker etc.
Who does anybody have a currentevent today? I see you both on
your phones. Well, I have agreat one.

Fr. Linh Nguyen (03:32):
Yeah, yeah, this is one is in the inns. Of
course, it all happened inCalifornia, of course, the
Department of Education willvote on a new statewide ethnic
study curriculum that aggregatefor decolonization of America
society, and elevate Aztecreligious symbolism, all in

(03:53):
service of the left wingpolitical ideology. In other
words,

Tim Stout (03:57):
they also say can you translate that

always quite interesting. So in other words,
you know, Christianity is toomuch white, you can't get rid of
that because we have to singmore Aztec Gods into because we
got to get rid of that mindsetof a white supremacists and an A
to make us less appreciationwhich so we've been colonized by

(04:24):
the, the white people Europe'sEurocentric so we have to
decolonize that mindset toliberate us. So this new was
both supposed to be both thisweek on that new curriculum.

And who's who's coming after him Coca Cola.

Tim Stout (04:45):
We're going to talk about Mr. Potato Head and potato
head and Dr. Seuss and the CocaCola bear and Speedy Gonzales
and Pepe lepew Pepe lepew LittleHouse on the Prairie. I mean, we
can go Tom Sawyer Huck Finn, arewe getting? We're not gonna talk
about any of that stuff.

I would macaroon.

Tim Stout (05:04):
Okay. What's your bear in

mind is I just wanted to get your opinion on
that man. Well, if y'all heardit, Kentucky passed the veal.
Where? Let me see how it'sworded.

Tim Stout (05:18):
This is the life about life.

Now one has to do with police officers. Mansfield
that would make it a crime toinsult or taunt a police officer
of yarn.

Tim Stout (05:31):
I haven't heard that.
Yeah,

I think you'd pass somebody out there. Correct
me if I'm wrong. But I justwanted to see what y'all think
about I mean is as pro police asI am, the way it's worded. It's
one of the several provisionsincluded in a larger bill that
seeks to increase penalties forcrimes related to riots. A state

(05:53):
senate committee passed the billlast week, under the bill, a
person who acoust at a cost,cost insults, taunts, or
challenges a law enforcementofficer with offensive order,
their size of words, or badgestures, that would direct

(06:15):
tendency to provoke a violentresponse would be charged of
guilty of disorderly conduct inthe second degree. I'd like to
hear arguments about who gets todo this. I'm sure the police
officer is the one that decides,

Tim Stout (06:32):
well, he gets to decide whether you're charged
with a crime but he doesn't getto understand or guilty. So you
know, those type of laws to meare just ridiculous. I'd

like to hear an argument from both sides.
Because right off the bat, I'mlike, I mean, is that mentioned
with free speech? Don't get mewrong when I watch all this
stuff on TV, the rats andthey're in the I mean, finally
this guy's

Tim Stout (06:53):
Yeah, I'm sure that's like,

can you legislate that? I don't know.

Tim Stout (06:57):
That's got to be the origin. I mean, did you know
that this isn't my Carnival, butI'll talk about it. Last
weekend, and Lowell, there was acheerleading competition. Did
you see were some protestersdowntown were yelling at these
girls as they were going intotheir cheerleading competition.
And it was crazy. And why theywhy they screamed at them for

(07:17):
because

I was white privilege. I think it was Yeah.
Because they had, they can becheerleaders, and it just was a
mess.

Tim Stout (07:28):
But it's not just I mean, you know, it this is in
our community as well, right? Imean, we were talking about that
before the show went on is thesame principle, right? People
get locked in on on somethingand they can't see how
irrational their views are. Sothey justify in their head,
their mind. They, they they tryto claim something's true when

(07:51):
it's not true. Or say that it'sfacts, when it's not facts to
support, their interpretation,their viewpoint, whatever. And
make it seem like it's it'sright when it's any arbitrary
person step back and look atindependent would look at and
say it's, you know, yelling atlittle girls about white
privilege. What's the point? Isthat talking about the polar

(08:14):
bear being white, what's thepolar bears white? Oh, InDesign
is actually black, but his hairis white. Go ahead.

You know, very interesting, the, the intention
of that law have is a goodintention.

I see a totally because It disgusts me. Okay,
when I see it

on TV, but but at the same time, it does not
present. I think you'd createmore complex. You're if the
police officer exercise on thatparticular law, he probably will
get read he or she will getreticulin. You know, but by by
bullying, I guess, you know, itdoesn't go anywhere. It's a good

(08:54):
intention to, to to, to defendor protect the the right of a
good officer, perhaps. But it'snot bringing into the good at
the whole you know, that thatthat that brought to my
attention. The nature of theGlazier law, the canonical law

(09:14):
of the church very important,because we all we look at the
common good, okay. We are notnitpicking detail, but we talk
about what is the overarching,important. society as a whole.
We operate way too muchunfeeling and emotional, and
those law becomes so nitpicking,right, a becomes so secondary,

(09:39):
or is something I it'sunfortunate, you know, if we
want to live in the jungle oflaws that that not hit anything.
Like I say, more and more webecome this society, we come a
lot more being the lawyers ofwhere to go, right. It's a it's
a lawyer society, but theproblem I mean, you know, we

(10:01):
talked about that before. In oursociety right now we miss the
most is philosopher. We don'thave enough that doesn't exist
anymore. Exactly. And, you know,there's good intention on the
law yet in respect of the policeof the good work they do, and
and an unappreciated society asa whole been ridiculed so much.

(10:25):
And so this law came out,hopefully with a good intention.
But again, it did not serve the,I guess the the intent.

Tim Stout (10:36):
But basically, it comes down to I mean, I just
tried to simplify too much, butit comes down to truth, right. I
mean, a police officer, youknow, is out there to protect
the public. Are there bad policeofficers? Yes, there's bad.
There's bad people in everyprofession. But if, if a police

(10:58):
officer is doing his job, andsomebody comes and gets in his
face, that can't be good. Apolice officer doing his job by
definition, doing his jobstanding on a line protecting
whatever is good. The otherthing going on against him can't
be good too. Those arediametrically opposed. And they
both can't be truth. If twothings are diametrically

(11:20):
opposed, they both can't beright. We don't live in that
kind of world. But we live in aworld that redefines what's good
or bad, we redefine words, tosuit our political and it does
boil down to politics most ofthe time now, we redefine words,
to meet what we want to happenfrom a political perspective.
That's and that's what's goodabout the church churches and

(11:42):
care about the political side ofit. Right?

We we confronting the culture we're
facing right now extremelyindifferent. And so therefore,
you Okay, I'm okay. As long asyou cross my path, and I enter
your path, then we become asocial media debate, right?
Become a disaster.

Tim Stout (11:59):
I'm a professional event.

So

Tim Stout (12:06):
I got to throw that back. Hey, Brent. Oh,

hey, Brad, did you have a current event?

Is that just all okay. I'm not gonna offer

Tim Stout (12:19):
scared, are you scared? So I was gonna, you
know, I think most people knowBrent Mayer, right.

I mean, I've been around for 16 years. Yeah.

Tim Stout (12:29):
Bingo. Right? If you don't know, Brent, then you have
been at the bingo hall.

That would be true.

Tim Stout (12:35):
Do you miss the bingo hall?

Absolutely.

Tim Stout (12:41):

Tim Stout (13:43):
he wasn't he wasn't here very long.

He wasn't he was a high powered individual
and I you know the committeereally gambled wanting to get
him involved. I mean, he had hewas a university president for
goodness sakes and did somegreat things while he was here,
but the the call of family andother opportunities took him to
come out of out of our out ofour diocese.

Tim Stout (14:04):
Are you saying that the Catholic Church can't afford
high powered high payingindividuals? Well,

that's a great conversation to have. I think
you can get them holding them alittle harder.

Tim Stout (14:17):
I mean, we pay our priests a whole lot of money.

Unknown (14:19):
That's what I've seen.

Tim Stout (14:20):
I mean, much higher than we pay our deacons deputy
Dallas Goddard is gonna get araise next year he's gonna go
from zero to zero.

He's going to quadruple my pay

I didn't know that. Actually his compensation
at the teacher Oh, I

Tim Stout (14:38):
forgot Dallas it Yeah.

either make some money, family.

Tim Stout (14:43):
So you can't say no.

Is it pro or do we get the pro right the salary?

Unknown (14:48):
Yeah,

Tim Stout (14:48):
well, are you hourly or salary? Let me be your
negotiator. You don't want to besalary you want to be hourly.
When it comes to

well, you need to talk discuss with the
principal. I think New coming.

Because I don't think 25,000 that was offered me
I don't think that's quiteenough, it might have to go up.

Tim Stout (15:07):
If you just throw in word and convenient,

no way, I'm just gonna defer that all those
decisions had to be made beforethe next school year. And I
don't kick in until that nextschool year. So I'll see how you
do this upcoming year.

Tim Stout (15:19):
We'll talk. So yeah, so all of us know, Brent, you've
been around for a long time.
But, but who's who's BrettMayer, if you had to say who you
are, who's Brent bear? Who isBrent Mayer in this new row and
as

principal?
Sure, sure. Okay, so let's startwith foundations. Right. So 12
years of Catholic school, so I'mone of those cradle Catholic
cradle Catholic, spent some timepost High School, which Center
College there in Danville andspent time, as I guess, politely
saying, away from my faith. Whenthe first day I met father when

(15:58):
I told him Fatherland, I'm theprodigal son because I left the
faith. And when I came back,I've been just on fire with it.
And you know, that was we cameSt. John's 16 years ago. And

real quick, where'd you go to grade school
in high school? Oh, that

was a St.
Clement little place you arepretty familiar with they are in
Louisville, Kentucky, and thenwent to Holy Cross High School.
First COVID Catholic High Schoolin Louisville. And still, I
think the only COVID CatholicHigh School and livable, they
marched Bishop David mansillamercy. I was there. That
happened in 84. And I started in86. So good Catholic foundation.

Yeah, I went to just a few miles down the road
Western hasco

Tim Stout (16:49):
St. Clement,

St. Clement in the software exists, it got
swallowed up.

It's called St.
Moustafa Dixie Highway furtherdown Johnson town road area
knowledge that I was I was attheir window

Unknown (17:00):
once.

Tim Stout (17:01):
Yeah, actually I dated a girl for Well, I went on
a couple dates with a girl thatled optics DIY. And for a kid
lived in the east and to go toDixie Highway.

Was it a culture shock?

Tim Stout (17:10):
Well, you had to you had to you know, you had to want
to go. I was driving 74 No. Andit was like 50 miles or
something like that round trip.
I was thinking, Man,

Unknown (17:20):
it'll be expensive.

Tim Stout (17:23):
So Dixie Highway was like another world for us.

Yeah, it's it's way different. Now two lines
wide.

I was telling somebody here Really? Just
several months ago, it's been along time since I was on that
stretch from Valley station andright. And you had these you
know, restaurants and storesthat you didn't realize how you
use for markers where to turnwhere to go. They're all gone?
Yeah, yeah, I was lost.

I think even the earlier years is gone. And I
can't remember the last time Iwas there. I think that's gone.
I had the green sound with theorange cow on it. It was a great
landmark.

Anyway, I'm sorry. Go ahead.

Oh, good.
That's all good. We were talkingabout who am I? Yeah. So I've
been a pretty stable employeeand my current place, that'd be
24, and three quarters years bythe time I'm done. And, but I'm
really looking forward to thisnew opportunity here

Tim Stout (18:19):
at 24 years, anywhere, anyone places, long
term is long time, especially intoday's today's age, when people
jump jump ships, lots, they

do been managing since 99. So I've seen
lots of folks, as you're saying,come and go that through the
organization, but negligencedown, it's a food safety food
and animal safety company. Andwe do the animal safety business
down in Lexington and and thegroup there was very special to

(18:50):
get into a club of the 20 yearplus, and there there's over a
dozen of them still there. Butyou know, at some point, we all
we all gotta move on.

Tim Stout (18:59):
Yeah, so So this balance between your career, I'm
just gonna say that, yeah. Youknow, a degree in biology,

biochemistry, biochemistry, in

Tim Stout (19:10):
science. And in this move to Catholic education.
Something has to make thathappen trigger that. So is that
is that a faith response? Is ita calling? What how do you how
do you say

that's great.
Faith, yes. Calling. Yes. WhatI've always wanted to do I did
start out before I made it tothe edge and I spent a year
teaching at Lexington Catholic,taught biology taught physics.
It's a funny story. I went awayto get married that summer after
teaching for a year and while Iwas on my honeymoon, I found out

(19:45):
I actually wasn't employed thereanymore because it was annual
contracts and I had made acomment to the prior principal
he happened to pass away. I gotcommunicated to the the new
principal that if I if Icouldn't Do like part time
teaching I didn't want to teachand so I came back and I was I
was cut out. And so we moved towhat my degree was in, but never

(20:06):
left the interest in educationand have been on several
advisory boards. Like wementioned, just our school
board, the diocese and boardadvisory board with bluegrass
community Technical College,they've got a department of
biotechnology over there. And soI've always stayed involved with
that. Ran tutoring programs whenI was in high school and when I

(20:26):
was in college, I have alwaysbeen very active with the
school. You know, Kathy Boothwas the principal when I got
here. Back elsewhere key filledin for a couple of years. And
then Dan Martell, so he skipped

Tim Stout (20:40):
over that Miss. Mr.
Jean? toes his last name? Ihaven't I've been for you.
Right. It was before me. Yeah.
So yeah, they went from Kathybooth to him know him before.

He was with Yeah, he was 4k. Okay. Yeah.

Tim Stout (20:56):
So who's before? Oh, her name was learning Rebecca.
Two. I can't remember what hername was.

That was working was not there wasn't
Rebecca.

Tim Stout (21:05):
I can remember who who was. So she. So it was Mr.
Jean and then it was Kathy boo.
Okay. Yep. And is there a is ineverything you just said right
there? Was there a hiddenmessage to Dallas because of a
of a principle change that couldaffect your employment as a
teacher?

What are you talking about?

Tim Stout (21:26):
This because we are we're talking about? So we're
breaking tos to new stories. Andin a way here principle and the
new religion teacher and areligion teacher for next year?

Yeah.

He haven't obtained yet a demand for his
own room.

There was no demand, there's a slight
suggestion is that he was aslight suggestion.

Tim Stout (21:47):
So So are you excited about teaching? I'm

very excited.
Very, very good. I was I'vetaught I've served in there
several other times. So I'm justtrying to get used to what's
going on.

Tim Stout (22:00):
So this, this, this change in you from being retired
to the teaching, whew, frombeing in the professional,
public company world to toCatholic education. Obviously,
you're not going into the schoolbuilding and stuff that was
there. This is all kind oftransitional and new. That's got

(22:24):
to be exciting. Oh, it's

it's super exciting. I mean, it's a it's a
draw, like, like nothing else,you know, because as a committee
member for so long of helping toacquire card own, and work
towards finding out how we weregoing to get out here and now to
be part of the group that thatput together this opportunity to
put this new school building outhere. Yeah, yeah. No, it's it's
it's awesome to be involvedwith.

Tim Stout (22:45):
Yeah, I agree with that. Because I think I've been
on every committee as well. And,you know, I was thinking about
this earlier today.

Do you want to be assistant principal?

Tim Stout (22:57):
Yes. Quit.

Quit your job as president of a mining company.

Tim Stout (23:02):
Assistant Principal Kelly. We're going to break a
new story. I'm going to be thenew science teacher.

Teaching engineer.

Tim Stout (23:13):
Engineering. Yeah, that's not happening. Sorry. Oh,
my boss. Neither is not on theplane. But what what I was
thinking about was that, youknow, we, we've obviously been
experts at buying land andplanning and just never really
had come to fruition. But withCardo, one of the things that
that drew us here wasinfrastructure, right? We always

(23:33):
said, hey, there's parking lots,there's utilities, we don't have
to build any of that stuff. Andwe said, you know, the cost is
gonna be in renovating thebuildings and everything but but
COVID happened. And then we hadthis need, and, you know, the
fact that we have this beautifulcampus, and we have parking
lots, and we haveinfrastructure, we have water
lines, we have electrical lines,all that stuff, makes us be able
to do what we're trying to doout here very quickly. And

(23:55):
really, for low, a low sum ofmoney. Really?

Yeah. Let me build on that comment. Because
one of the things that's themost exciting for the school and
someone asked me about, youknow, tell me why it's so
important to move and or, youknow, what, what are the
advantages of being out atcardomom. And there are many in
terms of safety and, and layoutin the green space. But these

(24:21):
classrooms, I mean, you know, StJohn's forever, right, for its
history has fit classes intospaces, as opposed to building
spaces to hold classes. And sowe have an incredible history of
success, right? Our students areoutstanding, we've got amazing
teachers, we've been able tohouse you know, kids, whoever

(24:44):
wants to come we've never turnpeople away for size or anything
like that, or space and whenwe've done wonderful things, but
but out here card on when webuild this structure, these are
purpose built spaces, right. SoSo if you think about all the
success that you have, and thenyou take that that impediment
That thing that says, Well, youkind of have to squeeze into
this hole. I know you've got bigkids figure out how to do with

(25:06):
the desk when that goes away.
And the teachers now have thesebig, beautiful classrooms. I'm
super excited about what they'regoing to say, you know, they're
that, that they're going to beable to do things that they
couldn't do before. In takeCOVID out, but you know, gosh, I
mean, this place is ready toexplode with with excitement.

Tim Stout (25:25):
Yeah. And I wasn't thinking I was, you know, as you
were talking there, I wasthinking about the the new set
of questions that just went outthis week. Yeah, that actually
have two links in it one's alink to a view of what these
classrooms will look like on theinside. Right. And then there's
a second link that kind of showsthe layout of this, this modular
building. Just talk a little bitabout that. What would it what

(25:46):
is in this modular building?

Yeah, so so the modular building, single
structure, you know, from fromthe outside, it's going to look
like a four walls structure witha roof is going to have an
entrance and an exit. hallwaydown the middle has eight
classrooms, all connected byhallways, it has two banks of
bathrooms, one on the right sideof building one on the left boys
and girls. And then the entrywaywill have offices, two offices,

(26:10):
one for the administrativeassistant, one for the
principal. And we'll be able tocontrol entry to the building,
the whole signup process worksout well. For the middle school,
again, assuming the COVIDrestrictions and are healthy at
school plan, start to relax. Sothey'll be able to transition
between school rooms much, mucheasier. And so I forget what the

(26:32):
total square footage is, buteach rooms about 720 700 to 720.
So you take that times eight,you're gonna be at 5700 square
feet, right?

Tim Stout (26:41):
Yeah. total square foot is almost 1000. I think,
yeah. mistaken. Something likethat.

I mean, it's it's a big structure and that
and that's why if you've beenout here and seen some of the
trees come down, and you've seensome of the markers going up the
the space markers, you know,where they they they've laid out
the site. It's a big footprint.

Tim Stout (27:00):
Yeah, I think sometimes when somebody hears
the word modular, they think ofwhat we currently have, which
are trailers. Sure. Sure.
Modular buildings today are arethey on a trailer frame?
Absolutely. They're on a trailerframe. But in this case, I
believe it is the equivalent ofeight, eight, I think eight
single wide trailers would bewhat the size of this huge

(27:22):
modular building is going to be.
You know, the pictures on thewebsite. Don't do it justice. If
you go to any public schoolthese days that has a trailer,
modular building, etc, out backfor overflow for them. The
inside of those classrooms arejust amazing looking. Yeah, I

(27:42):
think it's gonna be I think it'sgonna be exciting.

Yeah. Are all classrooms the same? Says he?
That's a great question. So Ilooked on the drawing set. And
for some reason, right now, itlooked like the maybe the ones
down the left side. And the onedown, the ones down the right
side differ by like, 10 squarefeet for some reason, but maybe
just looking at the drawingsfrom them. I'm definitely not an
engineer.

Tim Stout (28:03):
Yeah, I mean, I think they're supposed to be
equivalent.

Yeah. You know, it's not so bad to say

Tim Stout (28:07):
what you want to religion. Oh, be

told right off the bat that. Yeah. So I think
they're sticking me in some darkroom over here in the corner,
that

Tim Stout (28:18):
brewski right. And caving in, he remind me of where
we're used to put Mary Napierthat our teacher, right, she
stood down in the base down

and loaded every rain and I used to have to go
down there. So get all thatwater up and redo or

Tim Stout (28:30):
wax or followers and stuff. Yeah, cuz you took care
of the floors for the longesttime. Yeah. Service, right
service service, you wereservicing

me back then as much as they pay me now.

Tim Stout (28:40):
So So speaking of religion, and other specials,
art and stuff. Obviously, theclassrooms and the modular
building are for Kate are sofirst grade through eighth grade

one through eight. Yeah, that's the plus.

Tim Stout (28:52):
Yeah. Just talk a little bit more about how you
see, you know, the rest ofCardo. interfacing with a new
modular?

Sure, sure. So for those that don't know, our
current, our middle school movedout for this this current year.
And so there were there were twosmaller structures that had been
around for quite some time theythey were used prior for the
Montessori School. I'm not surewhat what they were used for
prior to that. And we hadoriginally had plans for the
upcoming for the last, or thecurrent school year, we'll say,

(29:24):
had plans that we'd bring apreschool out here right in
because they were kind of set upfor the little pod. Yes. And all
that kind of stuff, right? Smallpeople. Yeah, small shortcuts,
shortcuts, little five andunders. And when that was not
going to work, because the COVIDpieces and how long it was going
to take with with getting thatcertification moved over. We
were looked at the middleschool. And so the middle school

(29:44):
has proof of concept that thosebuildings are useful. And so we
will still continue to use oneof those two buildings, the
other one is is going to betaken down because it's happens
to be sitting on the footprintof the modular building. So we
have three rooms, we'll lose oneAnd and pick up eight. So that
seems like a pretty fair trade.
And then the building to whichis the now parish hall, some

(30:06):
people would know it's the theone that that contains the
cardomom Academy theatre, thatAcademy theatre, that room, or
that building has a second floorand has some space. And various
church groups have met therebefore the robotics teams used
to used to work up there. Ithink the scouts have used it in

(30:28):
the past, there's some minorrenovations going up there to
take down some some walls thatwere just put up to divide
space. So we're undermining thisbase. And when that's done, it
should allow for this severalother specials to be in there.
And then, you know, we're stillas a group, right, working out

(30:48):
the whole kitchen piece. Butagain, the food service, that's
one of the questions in the q&a,the food service, you know, is
run by the diocese, and they'recommitted, no matter where we're
at or who, you know, othercampuses, buildings,

Tim Stout (31:01):
they're serving food food out here,

right now.
That's exactly right.

Tim Stout (31:06):
Yeah, that's coming out of the St. John's city.
undercroft steel. So

like transport, you know, there's,

Tim Stout (31:11):
there's a lot of fathers a lot of information
coming down the pipe on all thistransition. You know, Brent's
done a good job of explainingthat if you had to give advice
to folks about how to kind ofget engaged in this process? Or
is it just really justinformation, just pay attention
right now to what's going on? Orwhat's your thoughts on,

we actually be beside all the necessary
information, communicate viasocial media, a website, all of
that, I hope everybody tune intothat. But we also will have a
special committee callcommunication committee. During
this COVID we cannot do muchwithin person. So this team will

(31:56):
call families themselves, okay.
And, and talk to them and askthem and point them to all
communication we have if theyhave any concern, or question.
If not, if they have never heardof it, and we will make sure
they get the information.

Tim Stout (32:10):
Yeah, yeah. And there's so far there's been a
video, right, there was aninitial video, and then two sets
of questions and answers so far,

correct?
Correct. The plan is to keepdoing those. That's right. Next
week's q&a will be about themain street campus and just some
of the questions about the realestate and what does that look
like?

Tim Stout (32:28):
In obviously getting the school out here and getting
education at a level of 100?
Whatever the enrollments goingto be 140 ish.

That's, that's the minimum that will help and I
hope it goes a little higher.

Tim Stout (32:43):
What was it this what's going on Romans 138,
which was good, because wethought it was gonna be lower
net and COVID actually helpedtake that up. So it did it got
it gotta be gotta be good tohave new a new building to
recruit to?

Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely. And, you know, youbring up the the COVID
opportunity, and hopefully,people understand when, when
COVID Well, last spring, everyschool, right, every school
suffered, and nobody knew whatto do, right? Because it was
just like, hey, so you're goinghome on Monday, are you going
home on Friday, and by the way,you won't be back and no one
thought and you'll never be backand then we'll go to summer. And

(33:18):
and we worked very hard as acommittee Fatherland, put
together a healthy schoolcommittee. We worked with our
superintendent, we worked withour local health department, we
worked with the stateguidelines, we worked with the
CDC guidelines, we put somethingtogether, right, that allowed us
to open right, and we did socialdistancing. So our kids were
masked, they were six feetapart. And we submitted a plan

(33:40):
and the bishop, you know, saidwe're going to school and I
think that's been a huge thing,because it's given us a chance
to be a servant, and bring insome families who weren't
currently looking or weren'tlooking last year. You know, I
told Dan, Mr. Martel though theconference? Well, you know, I
hope we keep at least half thosefamilies, you know, like, like,
we've sold them a good productand and we've given them eyes to

(34:02):
see, it's not just that we wereopen. I mean, we offer things
that they can't get at thepublic school and, and we we do
it really well. And so I thinkthat hopefully, not only do do
we keep a lot of those families,but that they help us be
ambassadors to those folks who'dnever thought about it. And and
help bring them in and thenthese facilities. I mean, again,

(34:24):
it's just gonna be the icing onthe cake that really helps us
Excel.

Tim Stout (34:29):
I mean, you got 37 acres out here, right? 3730 to
33rd

one and change, I think something like that. 30
plus

Tim Stout (34:37):
acres, yeah, of Greenland. And places for kids
to do whatever kids do at recessthese days, you know, kickball
or volleyball or what? I don'tknow what they do. Maybe they
sit on her phone to play videogames. They don't

actually have the chance to come and teach PE
or for the middle school thisyear. They still play volleyball
kickball, wiffle ball. Yeah, sothere's

Tim Stout (34:59):
plenty of space. out here the best

part no scraped knee?

Yeah, right.
They get grass. Grass thing

to me. That's right. They have grass stain
does not

Tim Stout (35:10):
have scraped knee. So is on the supply list is it
gonna be a stain stick?

When we're looking for a sponsor

Tim Stout (35:18):
neogen doesn't make anything really

decontaminated.
We

have a date as in the the new school we'll be

following up on this day. Oh, that's great. I'm
not on that committee. Thecontempt Do you remember those
numbers?

Tim Stout (35:35):
I'm on that committee. On the multipurpose
building committee,

what the school will be deliver immediate when
there's the the modular will bedelivered before assemble right
after the school is ended on the24th. Okay,

so the end of May, at the end of May.

Okay. Yep. And then the project will begin and
we will should be ready foroperation in August. Yeah,

Tim Stout (36:01):
there is a video on that we purchased the modular
through Vanguard. And, you know,Vanguard is a really a big name
and modular buildings. But ifyou go to their website, there's
actually a video showing howthey construct on site. So if
somebody is curious about that,what that's gonna look like it's
a pretty cool video. I say thatbecause I'm an engineer, and I

(36:21):
like it, that kind of stuff,

I would want to come and watch. You know, it

Tim Stout (36:26):
would be a good idea is to put a time lapse camera.

Unknown (36:30):
All right.

Tim Stout (36:31):
We have a time lapse camera, maybe we'll pay you for
it, Steve will pay you 10 timeswhat you make tonight. Both me

and Steve with a further stimulus we got done.

Tim Stout (36:51):
So now it would be good to have a time lapse camera
looking down on something likethat maybe off of the tire off
of the building one here. But,you know, when you think about
Cardon, for me, you know, andlistening to so many school
families, in privateconversations that I've had with
them over the years talk abouttheir commitment to Catholic
education and those things. Theyalways had a lot of concerns

(37:12):
about St. JOHN school. And Icannot think of a single concern
that is not going to beaddressed by the move to carto.
All right. Whether that'ssecurity, whether it's the size
of the rooms, whether it's theenvironment, you know, whether
it's how they pick up and dropoff, I mean, everything out
here, I can't think of onedrawback to being out here. Can

(37:32):
you know about you Dallas, canyou

know, fan? Padre?

isolation.

Tim Stout (37:42):
We're away from everybody. I just I mean,
obviously, it's a big change.
It's I've been using the wordhistoric. Yeah, because it is,
it is a historic change, notjust for the school, but for the
parish. And people. People ingeneral don't like change. Oh,
right. Right. Right. And so Ithink as as a as a community of

(38:04):
faith, as Catholics, we need toembrace those emotions the best
we can, and try to, you know,make sure there's conversations
with with folks to make themfeel comfortable. If you haven't
been out the car home, and youhaven't even seen like the
middle school buildings andstuff, I'm sure we'll have open
houses and stuff when we geteverything situated. But you
need to get out here and take alook around,

right. And part of the Communications Committee.
That is as soon as as soon as wecan move forward, just just a
little bit where the weather'salways nice out here, that's
part of the plan to will allowyou to sign up for some times to
come out here, take a tour, seewhat it looks like, obviously,
the new buildings won't be here,but the where they're going to
be it'll be here. And you canget an idea of what that's going
to look like. So yeah, I'll bewatching the parish website.

(38:49):
It'll

but all that, you know, that's good, but I'm still
gonna miss my, you know, I'vebeen going there for 20
something years now, St. John'sChurch time, and

Tim Stout (38:59):
it's changed.

Unknown (39:01):
I don't like change.
Nobody does.

Tim Stout (39:03):
I mean, we don't, you know, a lot of people like, like
to talk about the past outdoors.
And, you know, I hope we'rethrough the worst of that. Now.
We might have to do it again,another, another season of
winter or whatever down theroad, who knows what the future
holds. If we want if Dallaswould win the lottery, all of
our, all of our desires andneeds would be met right away.
But you know, none of us want tobe outside, right? If we had a

(39:26):
preference because of COVID wewouldn't want to want to pick,
let's be outside in the middleof the heat, because we dealt
with the heat. Right. Steve, youhad to have umbrellas over top
of the laptops and the heat wasunbearable. And we were standing
up there and we move our chairsback in the shade because you
know, we were Yeah, we werecooking and now you know, just a

(39:46):
few weeks ago, it was the exactopposite. You know, you're
trying to preach and your yourdolls are are chattering because
it's so cold. You know, none ofus want that and I think that
that car dome long term. Ifanything like COVID ever
happened again, it would give,it's gonna give us an

(40:07):
opportunity to look at thingscompletely different. makes us
look at our education completelydifferent. Obviously, we're
starting with this modularbuilding knows what the future
holds. Right, right, right. Youknow, I don't think we're gonna
have a wetland Oh, yeah.

Well actually see, I already know it's already
taken care of because the Eco nis our property, the Elkhorn
Creek and the piece that goesthrough we had a couple of folks
come with the school last yearbefore the COVID thing, and they
were one was with the sister Doyou remember sister's name?
Yeah. But anyway, and they andthey showed us how we could

(40:42):
really take advantage of theland. So use that for gift is
already here. Yeah.

Tim Stout (40:46):
If we want to have a class on trees on our if we want
to be an arborist we've got howmany species of trees that is

anybody know like 30? something I'd

already said.
We've been identified. Actually,that is was an Eagle Scout
project. Yeah, right. Come intobuilding one between beer, one
beer and two. There's a map.
Yeah. identify all the treesexisted on on our campus.

Tim Stout (41:09):
Oh, cool. So it was pretty awesome. How many schools
out there? How many Qaeda? AlQaeda? eight schools.

Unknown (41:15):
Yeah, right. Right.

Tim Stout (41:16):
that aren't on a special campus.

William Vinny says Good to see you, buddy.
Bye. Bye. Good to see you again.
Brent, Welcome to your new rowand count your blessings.

Thank you.
Thank you, Bill.

Tim Stout (41:31):
Let's go. We'd love you commenting on Sunday masses.
You always say Count yourblessings. He always says I
count your blessings. Count yourblessings. And there's another
thing that he in our fathercan't remember what it is that
he comments on that too. Glad.
Thanks for tuning in. And BillIs that it? Any other guy was
the only one that had a checkthe school page two just in case
there might be a little bit ofcarryover there over there. So

(41:52):
Brent, cradle Catholic, adultoval. How did you get to
Lexington, because you went toschool at center

right here in Danville, came up to University
of Kentucky for one yeargraduate school. And then got
stuck here, pretty much. My wifewas one year behind at center.
She finished up and then thatwas in 95. And then we both were

(42:25):
we got engaged and we're lookingfor where are we going to end up
and we did the little scramble.
And I got offered a job inLexington and a job in
Louisville, and she got offereda job in Lexington and a job in
Cincinnati. And so Lexington one

Tim Stout (42:43):
and you have four kids, right

for boys or boys. My oldest is in his finish
in his second year ofBellarmine. My youngest is in
third grade, here at St. John's.

Tim Stout (42:53):
And did you think that you would never have a kid
in a new school at St. John'sschool?

Actually, no, I've always believed they would
make it into this.

Tim Stout (43:04):
Did you probably thought john was gonna be in any
ability to

tell people this up. Jason who, you know, like
went to school together all themuseum in his town. When he was
in kindergarten, he was we willhave a school by the time he's
in the third or fourth grade.
He's 27.

I can tell you, God bless Miss King, because she
is still our first grade teacherand she has been holding on and
we had a conversation probably10 years ago about the new
school and it's so close. AndI'm so excited. She'll be with
us next year.

Tim Stout (43:39):
We haven't even talked about that. Yeah, we
haven't talked about the impacton the teachers and, you know,
in recruitment and retention andall those things. Because, you
know, Catholic, Catholiceducation is not known for high
salaries for teachers,obviously. But, you know, it is
it is known for smaller classsizes. You know, there's
typically other benefits to it.
And for us facilities was was itone of those? No,

no, now, it will be it will be both inside
and out. You know, again, weused to because I used to give
the tours all the time. Andthat's that, you know, that's
what we were saying, like, getpast the exterior and come when
the kids are in with theteachers see what they do. And
and it was always I mean, it'salways a selling point. And now
they'll come in they'll be like,wow, this is really nice. And

(44:24):
then I've gone inside andthey're like wow, this is really
nice. And then they're gonna seethat awesome teacher in action.
And so yeah, you know, theseveral the hurdles to
recruitment had are going to getknocked down. It's awesome.

Tim Stout (44:37):
Yeah, I just, you know, I can't see any negatives
to moving out here isolationFather, you said but I find
that's not really an increasesecurity. Right.

Right. You know, I already mentioned to Dan
and so Brian is one of theinteresting things with a school
could have faced now is how tomanage the children. And the
teacher in one building. Nowthey are too close before
they're all over the place, butnow they are too closed out a

(45:09):
new, I guess a new problem witha good problem.

Yeah, the teachers will say no running in
the hallway. Never had to sayschool.

Tim Stout (45:19):
Yeah, the hallway the school building wasn't long
enough to stop. And I thinkthat, you know, moving from one
to another Catholic churchbuilding is a building in the
office as a building 12345677buildings, right. I got that

(45:41):
right.

Just about

Tim Stout (45:42):
Yeah, yeah. Seven buildings to a main building and
you're gonna use building two?
Yeah. Three, yeah, eightbuildings. So it's got to be
good for everybody. Includingthe principal and old dad. Poor
Dad. He's not going to. Youshould get him tied him up for a
part time teaching row orsomething. You

know what Dan is? I am no Dan Martell. Okay.
Dan is an awesome servantleader. I hope to be as good as
him as a servant leader. He'salready committed that he'll be
around next year. If I callhe'll answer.

What he told you.

Unknown (46:17):
Yeah, I

Tim Stout (46:18):
believe he's gonna be fishing on he's gonna be fishing
on Dallas, Dallas and use it tomake dates.

Yeah, right.
Right. Right. But, ya know, Dan,Dan's gonna Dan's gonna help us
this thing.

We need to invest in a plow and hook it up to my
truck. And I No, we don't youknow, we had some problems with
getting it clear this year. Oh,the other snow snow. Yeah,

Tim Stout (46:38):
there's a plow out here. Oh, we got Well, we

Unknown (46:40):
did have one of those.
Yeah,

Tim Stout (46:42):
yeah, it's on the tonic, probably an older truck,
but it looked good on the frontof your house might be the plow
might be a little bigger than atruck. But hey, that's another
way you can get paid man, youcan raise that paycheck man have
been responsible for forplowing. So. So it's exciting
times at the school. Excitingtimes at the parish. You know,

(47:06):
what else do we need to know?
Brent? About Brent? Gosh.

Be patient with you. Yeah, yeah. I mean,
obviously, there's a learningcurve, right. But, you know, if
you're concerned that I'm notcoming from the principal side
of things, it's not that this isforeign to me. I like to say
I've worked with the last threeprincipals have been on the
school board, I've writtenseveral of the policies that we

(47:35):
follow, I wrote the school boardconstitution back when I was the
president of the school board,sit with the diocesan group that
looks at curriculum, and I haveseveral friends that are
principals inside the diocese.
So So those, those are allresources and connections that
I'll be able to call on. And,you know, there's, there's going

(47:56):
to be a new opportunity with theteachers, one of the things that
I asked Dan and father to helpme put together is really, for
lack of a better term, we'recalling it like a teacher leader
council kind of piece. And sothere'll be designated teachers
that they kind of serve as avoice for their respective

(48:16):
grades, but also, to hold me incheck and make sure to hold me
accountable, make sure that theyare getting the resources that
they need, and that I'm payingattention to the issues that are
important to them. And, and atthe same time, help me to
communicate back. And so it youknow, it should enhance not
impede that communication thatwe have between the principal

(48:37):
and the teachers. But it'llprobably be something they've
never seen before. But to me, inthe corporate world is very
common. Sure, I mean, puttogether a subject matter
experts, and you use them toyour advantage. So

Tim Stout (48:53):
usually, the sign of a good leader is somebody that
when people fall behind him, andtwo, they know where to go for
help. Yeah. And they're notafraid to go ask for help. Oh,
sure. So. So you need peoplepraying for you. Holy Spirit,
you need the Holy Spirit. Andyou also need to be praying. So

(49:13):
it's a good segue for this, hey,we got a little gift for being
on the show. It's a it's arugged rosary, because you need
to be praying a rosary everyday. So you leave the school in
the best direction.

So kind of be Thank you.

Tim Stout (49:26):
But don't take them I gave it to you. People just need
to have patience, right? Thepatients you're gonna learn a
lot. They're your teachers aregonna learn stuff from you, that
that, you know, that you bringto the table, you're gonna learn
from all of them. And, you know,as a community, we're all going
to be learning because it's anew, it's a new endeavor for us

(49:48):
in place.

So, in the case, the kids are going to be
the biggest beneficiaries.
Remember that this is all aboutgetting our students the best
education that we possibly can.
And in so if if There'scraziness in the pickup line if
the the lunches are a littleslow or whatever it is, in this
next year, just remember, we'retrying to make this best for the

(50:09):
kids will remember the lunchesare slow. That's the

Tim Stout (50:15):
Father, you got anything else to add? Or ask for
rent or thoughts?

No, I think we look forward for this upcoming
year we is, is a godsend. I dobelieve that is the unique way
we're going to approach inregards St. John's school, you
know, combination of theretaining the amount of
information, the integrity ofwhat we are, I think St. JOHN is

(50:39):
a great school. Unfortunately,we don't talk a lot about it.
And so now, if we have somethingat least we can showcase it.
Both the the, the facility, andso we can showcase what we can
do to serve our community. So Ilook forward to work with Brian

(51:00):
and I think we have a good team.
Fighting for the first time weactually have a clear plan to
jump forward. Yeah, in ample oftime to calculate in many ways,
thanks to COVID

Tim Stout (51:14):
you probably don't have to worry about lease for a
couple years, whether the waterfountain or the toilet or
whatever's broken and leaking,right. Right. I mean, it's true,
we laugh about it, but you know,or whatever else pick, pick a
maintenance issue and one ofthose houses, whether it's
electrical or plumbing or hv ACor all those things. You know,

(51:34):
we're gonna have our challengesout here, but it's gonna be you
know, it's gonna be in in ournew home. Right, Cardon? Hey,
let's do you ever say the dayover, they're not actually a
say, blessing blessing, doblesseds counter sights. I just
want to know,

if they're in heaven. They're saying they're
just now recognized as one.
